WELCOME ALL

Sept. 12 - Welcome...ALL?
FOLLOW JESUS

This unique model will offer your family to grow spiritually together throughout the week, around the dinner table, or wherever God leads us in faith, grace and love.

Opportunities are available to provide dinner for hungry teens!
Join us for Rally Day, Sept. 12
Rally Day is a time for everyone to learn more about our Christian Education opportunities. During the worship service we will hear more about the new Follow Me Curriculum and how to get involved. After worship we will be celebrating with an Ice Cream Social provided by the Fellowship Committee. This will be a time to get to know one another better while enjoying a sweet treat! In an effort to continue to thrive under one roof here at First Presbyterian Church, the ladies have put together a designer handbag sale to benefit the Raise the Roof Fundraiser. (See more info below) We will also have a take home treat for all the children. Everyone is invited!
Stay informed!
